The Nissan 370z Nismo is one serious car, but even it managed to upstaged by…

The Nissan GTR

The Cadillac ATS-V. Make no mistake, this isn’t a regular Caddy. The V designation means twin turbos and over 450 hp.

Take a Mini 3 door, subtract a door and a roof and you get the convertible Mini!

The new Mini 5-Door

This was as close as we could get to the Rolls-Royce Phantom

With details like included custom umbrellas, it’s no wonder the Phantom is an estimated…

A spokesman from Rolls stated that the most expensive insurance he’s ever seen for a Phantom….only $6000/year. For a $600,000 car.

The Lamborghini Huracan

Sitting inside the Huracan. All you can see is speed (since you can’t see much else)

The jet fighter controls of the Huracan

More space age controls on the Huracan. This vehicle is incredible.

Tucked away, this tiny detail would elude most. The Pininfarina name is synonymous with a coach builder that makes great cars even better. (find this on the only Ferrari at the show)

Massive brakes on the Huracan

The Bentley Continental GT

From the UK with love, the Aston Martin DB9

We’d like to see this one topless!

Porsche Cayman

The 911 Carerra GTS

The z4 roadster offers sporty fun

A personal favourite of Gary’s Automotive Blog Team, the Jaguar F-Type R was as beautiful as always.

Prestigious capability in the Ranger Rover Evoque

AMG badging on the C63

The bigger AMG picture

The big 3 had their muscle cars out in full force. The new Camaro

Up close with the powerhouse of the new Camaro

Ford brought their new Mustang out for a ride

One of the more visually striking pony cars, The new Z06 corvette did not disappoint.

If you think this car looks mean, it is. It has a few horsepower too, 707 to be exact.

Pick the kids up in this sedan. Get them home fast with 707 horsepower, the Dodge Charger Hellcat

The only visual indicator that this car will eat you.

While the cat may have claws, the Viper has the bite.

The Dodge Viper is a classic piece of incredible performance.

Stock or tuned, which do you prefer?

2015 Scion FR-S drift racer

While we couldn’t get in, we enjoyed getting to check out this racer.

This Huracan ditches the sophistication and gets right down to the speed.

The other cars are fast, but nothing beats Team Red Bull’s F1 car.

Some Tips For Attending The 2015 Ottawa Auto Show

The venue is indoors at the Shaw Centre ( formerly the Ottawa Convention Centre), attached to the Rideau Centre. We suggest parking nearby and entering through the Rideau Centre.

You’ll be on your feet as you browse the 3 floors of vehicles, so plan accordingly. Dress comfortable and get ready to see some amazing cars.

If attending the show with little ones, remember, not all cars are there to be entered. While people might not say anything when entering a Civic, alarms will go off if you try and enter the Audi R8 (don’t ask us how we know). Always ask before letting young ones climb on a vehicle.

Check out every room. The students from Carleton Universities Ravens Racing, The Motorsport Club of Ottawa, Calabogie Motorsports Park, and other vendors aren’t in the main hall!

If you’re looking for something to get out and do this weekend then check out the show. Nowhere else will you find such an amazing collection of amazing cars. Dealerships are on hand as well with more practical cars, so if you’re in the market for a new car, this is a must see event. Stay tuned to Gary’s Automotive for plenty more coverage of the 2015 Ottawa Auto Show.
